Welcome!!

It is not only because of our love but also of our deep respect of animals we have chosen our given occupations. Everyday we rise out of the bed and drive the distance to work, recounting the events of the previous day and wondering what the day ahead may have in store. Will it be a day filled with tears and heartache having to say goodbye to an old friend? Or will that sick dog feel good enough to eat his first meal in days? Will we jump in jubilation at a cat with finally a solid stool? Or will we have another abandoned animal on our doorstep? Fortunately we feel our good days graciously outweigh our bad and our successes outweigh our failures. Nothing makes our heartwings flutter more than when a critical animal finally gets to go home to his owners or when a homeless/abandoned animal walks out our door on its way to a new home...which is why we have chosen to call our blog "Homeward Bound." This is a new venture for us at Leesburg Animal Hospital and we hope you enjoy our thoughts and comments and we invite you to share some words with us.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
